GOING FOR GOLD
DECATHLETE 1996
DecAthlete lets you take part in ten entertaining events, including long jump, pole vault, shot put and 1,500 metres) and has everything you’d expect from the genre, including exaggerated stereotypes and plenty of button-bashing action.
While its controls are a little more nuanced than those of many of its peers, a focus on arcade action and cheerfullooking aesthetics ensures DecAthlete is a huge amount of fun. A winter-themed sequel, Winter Heat, arrived in 1997.
